| 7 years ago, we embarked on a JUB Swinging Club Tour - 12 clubs in 12 months. During our club visits sharing our plans with other couples, we had many say do not visit the Attic. So many that we just had to visit the Attic. We found the club warm, welcoming and stupendously massive with lots of great ideas, but being brutally honest, felt a bit unfinished (though not surprising given how large the place was and not much downtime to complete, let alone cost).
Fast forward 7 years and we find ourselves at the entrance of the Attic. Asked if we’ve been before and we said yes seven years ago. Do you want a tour, not much has changed? We politely declined and said we’d find our way around.
Let’s just say that we were undersold their efforts and hard work. Contrary to the welcoming statement, there were a lot of changes. Yes some new additions to the place, but the Attic now had a fresh and “finished feel” throughout in relation to the decor. It no longer felt like a unit on an industrial estate but a huge yet cosy club.
Whilst the Attic operates as a club that accommodates everyone, they have plenty of staff and security on hand to ensure the night goes as smoothly as possible.
We thoroughly enjoyed our night, we left the club happy, smiling, and pleasantly surprised at the changes and the finish to the club. The great ideas no longer feeling unfinished but fully realised. We would certainly recommend the Attic to people frequenting the area and also to the people who said do not visit the Attic, to go and give it a second opinion.
The music was good with the only critique being that we heard “Return of the Mack” at least 4 times, that we did start to wonder whether Mark Morrison was on the decks. ;-)
Thank you for a great night and see you soon. xx
